Ben DeJarnette

Ben, no free clubs at all, which is rare in this room, and it projects: 66.4 bonus points, 24th of 266. Derek Walker holds nine of your ten and sits one place and a fifth of a point ahead, so the two of you are running a one-club race inside the big one. Collin Smith and Mark Barenbaum, eight in common each, are a place behind you. Bayern's 18.7% title chance carries the top; Aston Villa at $20 is Opta's favorite of the middle at 34.5% to reach the quarterfinals.

Tuesday's Club Brugge against Aston Villa was yours on both sides, and a Villa result was the rarer one with 87 entries holding Brugge alone. Thursday, Bayern host Bodo/Glimt, both yours again, and a Bodo point separates you from the 61 entries holding only Bayern. Lens at Slavia the same day has 123 entries on Slavia alone; you are one of 36 on Lens.
